Just got a laptop and I thought I'd give it a test drive.

Toshiba Satellite 2805-S402
850 P3
128 RAM
GeForce2 Go

I never owned a laptop before. Is this a respectable score?

That's alright...remember 3DMark 2001 is a DirectX 8 benchmark.
There isn't much in the way of "real" DX8 programs so your 3Dmark2001 score isn't all that relevant to current game performance.

Try 3Dmark2k.

For a laptop that's quite a good score.
Check my Rig...I only get 1499 ;)

(of course I swapped mobos and video cards without re-installing windows...but still 800 is pretty good for a lappy).

I forot to mention that the first thing I did was wipe out WinME and install W2K.(If that makes any damn difference)

One more thing. Another 128 RAM coming from Crucial Friday. :)
